Wonder Festival (WonFes) which is a bi-annual event for figures, models and garage kits was held in Japan a week ago. The focus point is to display figure manufactorers new and upcoming line ups. So in other words, my highlight of the year thus far! XD One day I will time our Japan trip perfectly and go visit the event on the spot... (ʃƪ ˘ ³˘)This time the figure lineup was great and I spotted a few new things to add to my must buy-list. Ehehe. So here's some of the upcoming cuties:

Yaaay! More Bishoujo figures! The series illustrator, Shunya Yamashita, is one of my favourite artist! His style is incredible beautiful and of it's own kind! I've only had 2 figures from the Bishoujo-series (Alisa Bosconovich & Commander Shepard) for such a loooong time so I'm really happy to finally get new cuties to join the bunch! Especially that Freddy vs Jason... Damn, those bitches are BADASS!! I can't wait to see the sculpts! I also ordered two of those Love Live-girls (didn't want the middle one) because they are soooo gorgeus and I couldn't restrain myself after all... XD

....and because Sonico. ♥ FINALLY THEY BROUGHT BACK THAT SHUNYA'S SONICO (right down corner)! It's been a long time since they last showed it in any event so I started to lose hope about that one. But lucky me here it is again! Happyy ~ ! I'm also eager to see the Griffon Enterprises new nendoroid-wannabe series called Nanoritchi VC. They are kinda like Nendoroids or Kotobukiya's Cu-Poches with changeable parts. The only difference is that Nano VC-figures also have a press to talk button in the stand so you can hear memorable lines from your favourite characters! Well, Sonico looks super cute at least!

It wouldn't be a great figure event without new nendoroids!! And in WonFes there were MANY!! Most of the characters were unknown to me so it was easy to narrow down the most important ones. And OH_MY_GOD that Miku!! Once again it's a special nendoroid which can be obtained only by FamilyMart's lottery event. So to get her I need to pay a shit load of money when someone finally decides to sell his/hers. Damn you Japan!! (>__<)9 But... Miku is worth it. I need to start work more!The figure on down right corner, called Black Heart, is a little bit out of place but oh well... XD She's a character from a video game called "Hyper Dimension Neptunia". The game's story revolves around console wars and every gaming console has it's own female "character/mascot". And it's not hard to guess which console Black Heart represents. ;D Yup.... She's PlayStation and therefore my favourite of the girls! *fanboy* That's why she's a must have to my collection as well!

And last but not least, my secret dreams... The garage kits! These nice little figures you have to assemble and paint yourself. Year by year I drool after these INCREDIBLE Monster Hunter-kits but since I'm such a namby-pamby when it comes to painting, I haven't order any. Monster Hunter is my life and that's why I cry my eyes out every time I see these model kits... Well, maybe some day I'll have the courage to actually buy one and ruin it! XD
